Abstract

An improved acoustical system for inhibiting noise in a motor vehicle. The system comprises an impermeable layer and an underlayment adjacent to the impermeable layer. The underlayment includes a first fibrous layer and a second fibrous layer. The underlayment has an airflow resistance between about 2000 and about 5000 mks Rayls.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to acoustical systems.
BACKGROUND ART
The use of a permeable facing fabric or film on an acoustical absorber to improve its low frequency response has been shown in the literature and in numerous commercial applications, primarily in the building and construction field. Recently this concept has been applied to motor vehicle interior acoustical products. While these arrangements may demonstrate improved sound transmission loss in the mid-frequency range as compared to a double-walled system, they also typically exhibit decreased sound transmission loss at higher frequencies. Furthermore, a porous surface may cause several practical problems. When used on the floor of a motor vehicle, an acoustical absorber having a water-permeable facing is susceptible to water intrusion which may cause formation of mildew and odor in the underpad, as well as rust the floor pan in some cases.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
This invention provides an improved acoustical system comprising a water-impermeable layer and an underlayment. The underlayment is adjacent to the impermeable layer, and includes a first fibrous layer and a second fibrous layer. The first fibrous layer has a density less than the density of the second fibrous layer, and the underlayment has an airflow resistance between about 2000 and about 5000 mks Rayls.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved acoustical system which functions sufficiently over a broad frequency range. Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved acoustical barrier which is not susceptible to water intrusion.
These and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention are readily apparent from the following detailed description of the best modes for carrying out the invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an acoustical system according to the present invention.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
With reference to the drawing, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows a system 10 for inhibiting noise in a motor vehicle. The system 10 comprises a water-impermeable, relatively lightweight layer 12 and an underlayment 14.
The underlayment 14 is situated next to the impermeable layer 12, and includes a first or lofty fibrous layer 16 and a second or compressed fibrous layer 18. In a preferred embodiment, both of the layers 16 and 18 contain recycled, non-woven fibers which have been fluffed and combed to create a non-directional matrix or batt. Both layers 16 and 18 preferably have a surface density between about 500 grams per square meter and about 1400 grams per square meter.
A semi-permeable layer 20, comprising a fusible plastic film or cellulose filter scrim with a heat-settable adhesive, is preferably positioned between the layers 16 and 18 to provide additional airflow resistance and to help bond the layers together. In the case of a scrim, the material preferably has a surface density in the range of about 44 grams per square meter. A decorative layer 22 such as carpet or a face fabric may also be provided adjacent to the impermeable layer 12.
To make the acoustical system 10, approximately equal thicknesses of the layers 16 and 18 are first preferably heat set through an oven. One of the layers 16 or 18 is then bonded to the semi-permeable layer 20, and the combination bonded to the other layer 18 or 16. The resulting laminate is heated for about 30-40 seconds at about 400 to 450 degrees F, and then put into a cooled mold. When the mold is closed, the layers 16 and 18 are differentially compressed. The facing 22, which is first coated with the impermeable layer 12 of a 200-500 grams per square meter polyethylene to a thickness less than 1 mm, and more preferably about 0.1 mm, is then bonded to the underlayment 14 by heating the impermeable layer to near its melting point, and then transferring it to a cool mold into which the underlayment has been placed.
In the final product, the underlayment 14 preferably has a total thickness of 10-25 millimeters (mm), with the second or compressed layer 18 accounting for about 3 mm of that thickness and a resultingly higher as-molded density than the first or lofty layer 16. In this configuration, the underlayment has a specific airflow resistance between about 2000 and about 5000 mks Rayls, and preferably between about 2500 and 4500 mks Rayls. The system 10 can be placed on the sheet metal 24 of the motor vehicle so that the lofty layer 16 is next to the metal and the compressed layer 18 is next to the impermeable layer 12.
The invention is an improvement over the prior art. It modifies the construction for improved performance over a broad frequency range and eliminates the physical deficiencies. The sound transmission loss of this system is significantly improved over a typical heavy barrier system in the mid-range frequencies of about 200 to 1000 Hz, and is roughly equivalent to a heavy barrier system at high frequencies as well. These results were not expected based on experience with previous lightweight systems. Other lightweight systems all demonstrate a significant reduction in transmission loss at higher frequencies. Furthermore, the system 10 is preferably formed entirely from thermoplastics so as to be totally recyclable.
This invention is particularly applicable to floor systems for motor vehicles, but may have other vehicle or architectural noise attenuation applications. In some of those applications, such as dash insulators for motor vehicles, a carpet is not necessary. The design of the impermeable layer allows the acoustical properties of the construction to be tailored for transmission loss and/or sound absorption over specific frequency regions.
While the embodiments of the invention shown and described above constitute preferred embodiments of the invention, they are not intended to illustrate all possible forms thereof. It should also be understood that the words used are words of description rather than limitation, and various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention disclosed.
